⭐ About Jeffrey Schim – Restaurant Consultant & Trainer

Jeff has spent over three decades working in the food service industry, holding nearly every position—from busboy and dishwasher to cook, server, and restaurant manager. His career is built on fact‑finding, observation, and problem‑solving, skills that helped him identify losses, uncover theft, and correct operational issues long before he became a consultant.

Jeff received intensive management training from several major restaurant corporations and learned firsthand what makes restaurants succeed: cleanliness, consistency, accountability, and strong systems. Known for his attention to detail and passion for sanitation, Jeff has helped countless restaurants improve operations, reduce waste, and strengthen their teams.

After the restaurant he managed was closed due to a lease issue, Jeff decided to take his experience and turn it into something lasting. With encouragement from his wife, he founded Workplace Wizards Restaurant Consulting, a company dedicated to helping restaurants operate with clarity, control, and confidence.
